Living and modeling gratefulness
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 Be joyful always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
How do you express gratefulness?
In words- I am grateful for, I appreciate you, I value your support, that was so thoughtful of you.
In writing- a text, email, a card
In deed- doing something for someone like a meal, a gift, act of service.
Do we model these for our children? Grandchildren?

Being grateful allows people to acknowledge the goodness in their lives.
Helps people feel positive emotions, reduce anxiety, depression, strengthens the
immune system and improves health. We need each other! Gratitude builds stronger relationships.
Have you ever considered a gratitude journal? Writing one thing each day you are grateful for. It’s so good to reread it over the years.
3. How can you be grateful in hard times?
Stop worrying about what you don’t have and concentrate pn what you do have- focus on the positive. Do something you enjoy. Forgive easily. Help someone else- it’s better to
give than receive -focus on others.
